Yes, definitely. As I am leaving Barcelona, that is a huge metropolis. Every corner you have a coursework and I think it's a bit overwhelming because you have to wait a lot to cross all the streets.

× Every corner you have a coursework and I think it's a bit overwhelming because you have to wait a lot to cross all the streets.
✓ At every corner, you have a crosswalk and I think it's a bit overwhelming because you have to wait a lot to cross all the streets.
The word 'coursework' is incorrect in this context; the correct word is 'crosswalk'. This is a vocabulary error rather than a grammar problem, but it affects sentence clarity. Also, the sentence structure is slightly awkward; adding 'At' clarifies the location. The verb usage is correct here.
× there's a lot of cars inside the city.
✓ there are a lot of cars inside the city.
The phrase 'there's' is a contraction of 'there is', which is singular. Since 'cars' is plural, the correct form is 'there are'. This is a singular and plural agreement issue.
× So they would, it would be needed to cut off the traffic and put more sustainable options like bus or train.
✓ So it would be necessary to cut off the traffic and provide more sustainable options like buses or trains.
The phrase 'it would be needed' is incorrect; the correct modal verb phrase is 'it would be necessary'. Also, 'put more sustainable options' is awkward; 'provide more sustainable options' is better. Additionally, 'bus or train' should be plural to match 'more options'. This is a modal verb usage and quantifier/plural form issue.
